After ratings firm Standard & Poor’s declared that U.S. Treasury debt was no longer among the safest investments in the world and removed the triple-A rating that the U.S. has maintained for seventy years, Congressman Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) issued the following statement.
“Standard and Poor’s announcement that they lowered the United States’ long-term credit rating to AA+ must be the obituary for reckless deficit spending. For years, Washington avoided the tough decisions of leadership and chose instead to saddle our children with trillions of dollars in debt. ...

Indiana Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued this statement today in reaction to an HHS ruling challenging Indiana’s right to remove public fuding from Indiana’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood:“I am incredibly disappointed to hear that the Administration has chosen not to approve Indiana’s Medicaid Plan. Last Friday, I worked with my pro-life Hoosier colleagues to send a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. In that letter, I firmly asserted my belief that Indiana is well within both the letter and spirit of Federal ...

Stutzman Statement On Suspected Iran PayoffWashington, D.C. – Congressman Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) released the following statement after reports surfaced outlining the Obama administration’s payment of $400 million in exchange for three Americans held in Tehran in January:
“I was blown away to read that a $400 million cash ransom payment was covertly shipped to Iran on the day Americans were released by Tehran. I have said this time and time again: Iran should not be trusted-- they have been a sponsor of terror for decades. I cannot fathom why this administration continues to play naive instead of ensuring the security and safety of the United States. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate to solidify legislation that bans any future ransom payments by the U.S. government to countries or groups that take Americans hostage.”

IBJ: Tax, regulatory changes will bring firms back to U.S.No matter how many layoffs or corporate relocations are announced, too many politicians have refused to risk their own jobs fighting for the big policy changes that could actually reverse the trend. Instead, they “go along to get along” and just try to sound optimistic long enough to get re-elected. I reject this type of short-sighted leadership. If we stand together and demand the real changes that are necessary, we can jump-start our economy. We can bring back lost jobs and foster innovation to create the jobs of the 21st century.
The first step that will impact every American family and business is to overhaul our broken tax code. No economy can thrive under a system that discourages success, double-taxes earnings, and requires teams of professionals for compliance. By replacing our tax code with simple pro-growth reforms like the FairTax Act of 2015, which I have co-sponsored, and transitioning to a territorial tax system, we can stop companies from moving overseas.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau lacks oversightYears into our so called economic "recovery," economists are beginning to whisper about the next recession. One of the main culprits behind the economy's weakness has been the slow creep of overregulation into every aspect of industry and daily life. Good government can help keep consumers safe from fraud and other scams, but when it comes to financial services, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) overregulation hurts the market, and thereby consumers, horribly.
Let us first consider the current regulations themselves. Dodd-Frank was sold primarily as a way to protect consumers from the failure of banks considered "too big to fail," but these regulations actually only succeeded in driving up compliance costs for banks like Old National. The problem is especially acute for small and rural financial institutions. These regulations, many of which are enforced by the CFPB, require banks to standardize their products, even though small banks compete by tailoring custom prod
